Abstract
Suicide is probably best understood as a multidimensional malaise. It would seem most accurate to define suicide as an event with biological (including biochemical), sociocultural, interpersonal, psychological, and personal philosophical/existential aspects. It is also possible, as we believe this volume has shown, to attempt to structure suicidal phenomena from a developmental point of view.
